    What’s the best food?

    My vets recommendation. "Feed a mid priced food that is readily available, avoid the really cheap and really expensive". He feeds Purina Pro Plan. but used to feed Eukanuba to his pack. I feed Nurtiscource, and have fed PPP.

    Moving to Minneapolis area help

    I live in the west metro and enjoy it but if I were to do it over I should have gone a few miles further west out to avoid being in Hennepin county. Greenfield, Delano etc would be on my short list.

    And So It Begins Again

    Update on Doc. AKA as simply bragging Last Friday Doc became Qualified All Age (QAA) with a second place finish at Hennepin County Amateur Retriever Club's OHQ. The only dog able to beat him was an 8 year old Lab from smokey Canada! The Next Morning we ran Arrowhead HRC's test up on the Iron...

    Retrieved wounded birds causing hard mouth?

    Pheasants are notorious for causing mouthing problems as compared to ducks. I think a few things cause this, but number 1 are feathers coming loose in the dogs mouth. Imagine running a marathon followed by a sprint, and then you get a mouthful of feathers not a Gatorade

    Knee Surgery Question

    I'm not sure what scoped means. Was it repaired or just looked at? I was diagnosed with a radial tear of my meniscus, for a short term fix they gave me a shot of cortisone. I have been pain free for about 18 months now. The doc says the tear will not fix itself but what the heck it feels good.

    How would you hunt this?

    Kennel/crate fans?

    X2 The Ryobi fans are the bomb. The 4ahr batteries will run all day on low, and probably 5 or so hours on high. I hang them on the kennel door upside down with a simple hook from the hardware store.

    re: Anyone here have knowlege of camping in Froid Montana in October?

    I spent a lot of time in Froid before the oil rush. My info is dated but, avoid anything named Hobby Horse! The Sparks BNB was terrific but I believe Darnell Sparks has passed. The Ball Field in town had primitive camping. The Mint/annex serves a good drink and a decent pizza. The 8 ball in...

    Where Have All the Birds Gone?

    When I was a kid I remember crushing 5 gallon steel Paraquat cans with a tractor (Oliver 1955 MFWD) so they could go to the scrap recycler. We only use Paraquet 1-2 seasons if I remember right. I don't worry about Parkinson's but when ever I hear Paraquet I start thinking again.
